Student Group Forming to Fight Malaria

As an outgrowth of the MSU Nothing But Nets team, Gabe Ording, in the Entomology Department, is organizing a meeting today, April 8, 2008, at noon for students interested in starting a group to fight malaria.

The meeting is in 244A of the Natural Science Building and Gabe says he's providing pizza and pop.

To keep the momentum going on this campaign, we need some visibility on campus and I know Gabe has several ideas in mind for World Malaria Day on April 25. He's also working with the athletic department to get some basketballs signed by Tom Izzo and Suzy Merchant that we can raffle off. Now that will be exciting!

If you're an MSU student and want to help fight malaria, please attend the meeting. If you can't attend, but still want to participate, leave a comment on this blog or send Gabe or Ned Walker a note.

As an update, our team is up to 34 percent of its goal and we have 62 sponsors. Thanks to all!
